The Lyrics
Have I seriously not done a parody about this before? Buncha library-based ones, yeah, but not the one obvious topic when it comes to the library. It's not a conscious choice like how I'm 3000+ parodies in and not a single Star Wars parody (though that's mainly because I think that well's pretty dry). Weird.
Not a crime, just a problem, least that's what my brain feels
But my heart thinks I'm screwed, pretty sure that I'm screwed
It's because I have lost a book that lacked any cost
The one cost was a libr'ry card, it's true
But I still haven't found what I took before
No, I still haven't found what I took before
Where is it? Can't be missed, don't have many books around as is
Late fees climb higher so I can't get tired
Did I throw it deep in my closet? Have I left it inside a cupboard?
Did some old friend come by and I lent them the tome? Mmm-mmm
No, I still haven't found what I took before
Crap, I still haven't found what I took before
Could be squeezed deep in the glovebox, a pretty decent kind "set to go" spot
"Done with this" spot, primed for return slottin'
Real clever-clogs, not a smooth-ass brain, would've come up with that hidin' place, hope it's plain
That mine's goddamn empty
'Cause I still haven't found what I took before
No, I still haven't found what I took before, mmm
Damn, I still haven't found what I took before
No, I still haven't found what I took before
But my heart thinks I'm screwed, pretty sure that I'm screwed
It's because I have lost a book that lacked any cost
The one cost was a libr'ry card, it's true
But I still haven't found what I took before
No, I still haven't found what I took before
Where is it? Can't be missed, don't have many books around as is
Late fees climb higher so I can't get tired
Did I throw it deep in my closet? Have I left it inside a cupboard?
Did some old friend come by and I lent them the tome? Mmm-mmm
No, I still haven't found what I took before
Crap, I still haven't found what I took before
Could be squeezed deep in the glovebox, a pretty decent kind "set to go" spot
"Done with this" spot, primed for return slottin'
Real clever-clogs, not a smooth-ass brain, would've come up with that hidin' place, hope it's plain
That mine's goddamn empty
'Cause I still haven't found what I took before
No, I still haven't found what I took before, mmm
Damn, I still haven't found what I took before
No, I still haven't found what I took before
Hello? Yes, yes, I'd like to leave a message for the head of the Flying Corps, please. That's Air Chief Marshall Sir Hugh Massingbird-Massingbird, VC, DFC and Bar. Message reads "Where are you, you bastard?!".
